4 March 1922 diary of Dr John Stewart Muir (1845-1938) of Selkirk

Polished off all the cases I could in the town walking and to Briarbank + Buxton. Was busy making out a list of the cases David1 will have to see in my absence + was late at my packing. Went down to Elmpark2 at night + said goodbye to Erskine3 who returns to London on Monday.

1 David Charteris ‘Dav.’ Graham (1889-1963), M.B., medical practitioner and Dr Muir’s business partner

2 Elmpark was the home of Agnes Mackintosh née Watson, formerly Harper (1859-1946)

3 James ‘Erskine’ Harper (1887-1953), barrister, son of Ebenezer Erskine Harper, sheriff substitute, and Agnes Harper née Watson and brother of Agnes Durnford née Harper
